Lets hear from our STAR Families
We feel incredibly grateful to work with the amazing families in our close-knit South Bay community. The greatest reward for us is hearing your kind words and seeing the positive impact our program has on your children. Here’s what some of our wonderful STAR families have shared about their experience with us.

Hi Brandon and Maddie!
Sending a quick email from the pool at the hotel. I am just SO impressed with both of my kids swimming progression.
*Our daughter* has been an absolute fish and has come so far from the girl that was afraid of the water, baths and showers included.
Just wanted to reach out and say thank you!! We are so pleased with their progress!
​
When our boys first started swimming with Coach Maddie and Coach Brandon, they were just little toddlers in swim diapers,one of them especially unsure around water. It’s amazing to look back now and see how far they’ve come.
Thanks to the patient guidance and heartfelt dedication of these incredible coaches, both of our boys have grown into strong, confident swimmers. Whether it’s a pool, the ocean, or anything in between, they dive in with courage and joy.
But what makes Coach Maddie and Coach Brandon truly special is that they aren’t just outstanding coaches, they’re also exceptional parents and role models. Through their teaching, our boys have gained more than swimming skills; they’ve learned life lessons that stay with them every day. One of their favorite sayings, especially when facing a challenge, is something they learned from their coaches: “We can do hard things.”
We feel so blessed to have found them and to have stayed the course all these years. The result is more than just confident swimmers it’s confident young people. And that is the most heartwarming part of all.
We love Coach Maddie and Coach Brandon so much and we hope other families find their ways to their program and help experience the joy as we do.
Love
Naz and Pete


We are so thankful to you for helping him get over his fears and teaching him how to swim! I am amazed at and so proud of how much progress he’s made. It really is remarkable!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about STAR Academy! Our son started swimming with Coach Maddie when he was just over 2 years old, and our daughter joined when she was only 9 months old. Now, at 6 and 3, watching their progress in the water has been truly remarkable.
Both Coach Maddie and Coach Brandon became like family to us so quickly. Our kids are always so excited when it’s time for swim, and it’s clear how much they love and trust their coaches. The supportive, encouraging environment has helped our children build confidence and skills far beyond what we imagined. They are both absolute water-loving fishes.
Thank you, STAR Academy, for giving our kids such a positive start in the water and for making every lesson something they look forward to!
